摘要:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes: recessing a second surface portion of a semiconductor substrate; forming elements of a first circuit region capable of performing a first function at a first surface portion of the semiconductor substrate and elements of a second circuit region capable of performing a second function at the recessed second surface portion of the semiconductor substrate, the elements of the first circuit region and those of the second circuit region having relatively small and large sizes as generally measured in a direction perpendicular to the surface portions of the semiconductor substrate, respectively; forming an insulating film to cover the first and second circuit regions, with a result that a level difference is caused between first and second portions of the insulating film on the first and second circuit regions at a relatively lower level and at a relatively higher level, respectively; effecting chemical-mechanical planarization of the insulating film to suppress the level difference in the insulating film for enhancing a focus margin for successive photolithographic steps; and forming wiring conductors on the insulating film with the suppressed level difference, enjoying the enhanced focus margin.

A dynamic RAM is provided using a sense amplifier compensating for the disparities of characteristics for paired MOSFET's. With this arrangement parasitic capacitance of the bit lines can be increased to be at least 20 times the capacitance of the memory cells. Each bit line is bisected by a switch MOSFET and is disconnected thereby as needed. A plurality of sets of memory arrays are furnished, each including a switch MOSFET for interconnecting common source lines to which the sense amplifier is connected. This permits recycling of the charges of the common source lines.

A semiconductor memory device is provided which can achieve the high integration, ultra-high speed operation, and significant reduction of power consumption during the information holding time, by reducing the increase in the area of a memory cell and obtaining a period of the ultra-high speed readout time and ensuring a long refresh period at the time of the self refresh. A DRAM employing a one-intersection cell·two cells/bit method has a twin cell structure employing a one-intersection 6 F2 cell, the structure in which: memory cells are arranged at positions corresponding to all of the intersections between a bit-line pair and a word line; and when a half pitch of the word line is defined as F, a pitch of each bit line of the bit-line pair is larger than 2 F and smaller than 4 F. Further, an active region in the silicon substrate, on which a source, channel and drain of the transistor of each memory cell are formed, is obliquely formed relative to the direction of the bit-line pair.

摘要:
A semiconductor memory device, in which peripheral circuits are arranged in a cross area of a semiconductor chip composed of the longitudinal center portions and the transverse center portions, and in which memory arrays are arranged in the four regions which are divided by the cross area. A benefit of this structure in which the peripheral circuits are arranged at the center portion of the chip, is that the longest signal transmission paths can be shortened to about one half of the chip size to speed up the DRAM which is intended to have a large storage capacity.
